Free Music Review: Overlooked Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my first encounter with solo Jimmy Webb. I had seen his name countless times on record sleeves, but never heard him sing. I found the LP in the cut-out section and looked it over. Hmmm... Kenny Loggins guest vocalist, several others I recognized from the West Coast music scene... oh, the price tag of 49 cents gave me incentive to try him.
Strong, strong music. It opens up with "The Highwayman", produced with soaring strings from George Martin. It creates a lush atmosphere.
Each new song creates a memorable set of tunes. The kind you'll want to sing at the top of your voice, along with him. Okay, his voice isn't as slick as Glen Campbell's or Art Garfunkel's, but combine his pleasant voice with fine musicians and his own excellent songwriting, and you've found a treasure.
I think this CD is his most commercial offering. Radio-friendly stuff. And his version of the title track blows away the later remake by the big-name group.
Still, it's intelligent (as all his stuff is) and makes you wonder why he never broke through on his own. Ah, well, same story for Terence Boylan, Paul Williams and Bill LaBounty.
El Mirage Poster
Jimmy?s one and only album for Atlantic featured George Martin production and the song ?Highwayman? that turned into a goldmine for Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash (and Webb, too, can you imagine the songwriting royalties this guy gets?)!
